Sorry...I just remember someone griping about the +1 stuff, and then this "serious" discussion ensuing over it...funny stuff.
I just never saw the point of saying "+1" I mean... what does it add to the discussion? let the serious discussion ensue...
Nothing really...I would say it occasionally because it seemed easier than say, "yes, you made a great point and I completely agree..." But hey, we could make that a rule...no +1!!!
The only down side to that is there are times when it is appropriate to the conversation (and just downright funny) to have a smiley posted and that's it. Like "rolleyes" when someone posts something silly, off-topic or a little risqué.
